The answer is, yes, it can. Try music the next time you’re staring at the blank page wishing you had a creative thought you could commit to paper.

Hook up the headphones, and turn on your favorite CD. Or, you could try Pandora…if you haven’t tried that before, check it out here: www.pandora.com. Another great option is Spotify at www.spotify.com. (Both of those are free by the way.) Find your favorite song and open up a document.

Then start typing…often before I know it I’ve found my inspiration and time is passing and songs are playing and I’m really enjoying myself. And the pages are filling up.
